ORGANICS &amp ETHICS

Our Certifications

If you have sensitive skin, it’s so important to know exactly what’s in your products. At Pai, we believe in quality, purity and transparency.

For us, transparency means seeking external certification so you know all of our formulas stand up to scrutiny – and we’re proud of the lengths we go to to make sure they do!

Pai products are certified by the following bodies:

Cosmos Natural

There's a huge amount of natural products on the market.Howeverthe term natural is often left to interpretation and it's often hard to know whether the products you buy actually contains ingredients which fit with the natural ethos. We believe that if a product is natural, the majority of ingredients must be from nature.

To address this, our products are certified to a Soil Association COSMOS Natural standard. COSMOS Natural products do not have to contain any organic ingredients - although ours do!

This involvesthird partychecks, annual inspections, detailed production records and lots of traceability paperwork - but it means our products can carry the Soil Association COSMOS Natural logo and you know that:

No animal testing has been conducted

A minimum of 98% of the ingredients must be from nature. Any non-natural ingredients which are necessary to keep the product fresh or make it work should meet strict standards, green chemistry principles and cannot exceed 2%.

No endangered plant species may be used and no GM Ingredients.

No controversial chemicals, parabens and phthalates are in the product

No synthetic colours, dyes or fragrances.

Soil Association

We work hard to minimise our impact on the environment.

We think before we print.

Our paper and card is FSC certified and sourced from forests operating in environmentally and socially responsible ways.

Recyclable Packaging

We put as much thought into our packaging as our formulations – both to protect the precious organic ingredients and be kinder to the earth.

We phased out laminated boxes in 2015 and use glass wherever possible to make your favorite Pai products easier to recycle.
